Good point. The main problem with 20K in this location is the lack of fresh water, although I suppose that it's possible there is some just off the map. This strat might also work if you are going for some other victory. Might be better to do it in another city though... somewhere further north.
Edit: the only other way to get a GA in a reasonable time frame is by pinging someone. Since that would come rather late for my tastes, I am going to consider building the wonders.
